Stationary-shoulder friction stir welding (SSFSW) is a relatively new solid-state joining technique which particularly attractive for alloys which are difficult to join via...

Metal oxide nanoparticles are a form of pollution generated by a number of industrial procedures, and there is evidence that this class of nanoparticle can have a detrimental...

The accurate determination of the defect structure of rare earth (RE) doped ceria solid electrolytes is fundamental for the comprehension of oxygen diffusion and charge...

In order to characterise the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behaviour of the welded components used in offshore wind turbine monopiles, a number of tests have been performed on...

This proposal forms part of our larger study into the mechanics of nickel based alloys. In particular we are attempting to correlate the intergranular stress development in...

It is well known now that the compressive residual stresses produced using surface treatment like Laser Shock Peening (LSP) are beneficial in improvement of the fatigue life of...

Suspension and solution precursor (SSP) spraying is an emerging thermal spraying technology which utilises liquid feedstock containing sub-micrometre and nanoparticles. Alumina...

Reduced Activation Ferritic-Martensitic steels (RAFMs) are the primary candidate structural material for the FDS series LiPb blankets for fusion reactors, in particular the Dual...

This project is being conducted at the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), funded by UK government through the “Innovative UK (I-UK)” initiative known as Manufacturing...

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a special kind of active materials in which the martensitic transformation (MT) is the basis of the peculiar superelastic, and shape memory...

The fact that residual stresses are redistributed or relaxed during operations shows the importance of understanding residual stress after a particular period. Elastic shakedown...

Current UK reactors use a graphite composite material in the core and this material comprises coarse grains and about 20 vol.% porosity. This material functions well so far but...

YbPd crystallizes in the cubic CsCl-type structure and reported to have magnetically ordered ground state with the mixed valence of the Yb ion. Further, it under goes through...

Thermal barrier materials are used in modern turbines to enable them to run above the melting temperature of the turbine blades. However, to go to higher temperatures (and...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0017

Titanium and its alloys have increasingly become a material of choice in high performance structures due to superior corrosion resistance and high strength to weight ratio for...

Aircraft structural components are complex and expensive due to their manufacturing process complexities and use of high-performance materials. Aerospace components are...

We request two days on Engin-X to carry out commissioning tests on a pair of new piston-cylinder cells and their associated hydraulic press. Although intended primarily for use...

Duplex stainless steels have a microstructure composed of 50% ferrite and 50% austenite. This microstructure confers them high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance....

The experiment proposed is part of a larger study on the production of large cast bronze statues in ancient Egypt. Many archaeometallurgical innovations occurred in ancient...
